Hopefully some of the other Memphis guys knows one.

I've never needed that done, but have had a few keys made at the little locksmith shack on Poplar across from Huey's in East Memphis. I guess they are reputable, been around forever. Don't know if they do any more than just make duplicate keys.

I know they don't deal with programming keys, but he did refer me to someone once, we sold the car before I ever had it done though. Maybe if they don't, they can refer you to someone.

Take it to a Honda dealership/or good all make and model repair shop they do all that stuff there. Not sure how Honda is but Fords tumblers are easy to rebuild and install takes me 20-30 min tops to build one and have it in the car. Im sure honda are pretty much the same thing.

I did talk with the dealer and after about 10 people I got a person who knew what I wanted and said they do it but also gave me the impression that I could get it alot faster somewhere else, so I thought I would check here to see if anyone did it themselves. I wont be able to remove the ignition till tomorrow so not in a great hurry, and replacing it is not an option right now, they want about $500 and to have the tumblers replaced is about $100 or less with me removing it. I will check with A1 db99wj, thanks

Make her take the 10# of junk off the keyring or you will be doing this again next year. Women!

Thought I would update this since it was a significant savings. If I would have replaced the key ignition like was suggested by a few mechanics at the very minimum it would have costed $700 and if someone else would have done the labor it would have been about $1100. I had a lock smith down on summer blvd. change the tumblers for $100 and after the initial tow it came to a grand total of $150, needless to say I am a happy camper and to top it off the locksmith sells champion safes so i got to drewl some
